Employing methods such as literature review and field research, this study examines the logical framework, value implications, and practical pathways through which folk sports empower rural revitalization. The research concludes that the logicalframework of folk sports empowering rural revitalization manifests primarily in two aspects: historical convergence and contemporary synchronization. Its value implications include: leveraging cultural identity to foster rural community building; enhancing villagers' physical fitness through national fitness initiatives; building harmonious rural communities through collaborative governance; deepening the integration of culture, sports, and tourism through economic development and cultivating rural spaces for life education through its educational value. Based on the analysis of its value implications, this study further proposes practical and context-appropriate implementation pathways from four dimensions: folk sports culture helping shape rural civilization and forge the spiritual soul of rural areas; folk sports activities helping create a fitness-focused atmosphere among villagers; folk sports organizations helping strengthen weak links and drive reform in rural governance; and folk sports industries helping boost the vigorous development of the rural economy.
